day 1
CUSCO - OLLANTAYTAMBO - MACHUPICCHU - CUSCO
Our Machu Picchu tour begins early with a pick-up from your hotel in Cusco and a transfer to Ollantaytambo or Poroy train station. There we’ll board the Vistadome train, a panoramic service that offers breathtaking views of the Sacred Valley of Cusco and the Urubamba River. The journey lasts approximately 3 hours until reaching Machu Picchu Pueblo (Aguas Calientes), where our guide will be waiting.
In Aguas Calientes, we’ll take the bus to Machu Picchu (a 25-minute ascent) that will take us directly to the Machu Picchu Citadel, one of the seven wonders of the World. Here we’ll take a guided tour of approximately 2 hours through the main temples, terraces, and plazas, while discovering the history and mysticism of the Inca Empire. Subsequently, we’ll have free time to photograph or explore on our own.
After the visit, we’ll return to Machu Picchu town or Aguas Calientes, where we can enjoy lunch and, if time permits, visit the famous Machu Picchu hot springs, perfect for relaxing before taking the return train to Ollantaytambo or Poroy station, depending on your train ticket. Finally, transportation will take us back to Cusco.

Recomendations
When to go to Machu Picchu?
- To plan the trip to Machu Picchu, first decide the season in which you will visit Cusco in Peru.
- There are 2 seasons in Cusco: the dry season (April to October) where there is not much rain and the rainy season (November to March) where fluvial rainfall is more frequent.
- Once you have decided on the date you want to visit the Wonder of the World, buy tickets to Machu Picchu in advance.
- Make the reservation of the Machu Picchu entrance with time in advance. So you can better plan tours, hotel reservations, trains, flights and more.
- If you are going to do the Inca Trail, book your tour 4, 5 or 6 months in advance. Otherwise you will not find availability.
- The entrance ticket to the Huayna Picchu mountain must also be purchased up to 3 months before.
- Remember to have your passport and identity document in order: check the expiration date.
